Doug Jones wins Alabama Senate seat in extremely close race

The Associated Press and other media outlets have called the race for Alabama’s Senate seat for Democrat Doug Jones.

BREAKING: Democrat Doug Jones won election to the U.S. Senate from Alabama in a sharp blow to President Trump that narrows the GOP’s majority in the Senate to two. He beat Roy Moore, a former chief justice of the state Supreme Court who had been accused of sexual misconduct.

Senate GOP may not like losing the Alabama seat. But the win by Dem Doug Jones keeps Senate from holding an ethics probe & even potentially moving to expel Moore. Senate hadn’t expelled a senator since 1862
